Information and Details about the Firstgear Silverstone Tailbag made by Firstgear

Firstgear Silverstone Tailbags are larger sized bags, meant to be mounted at the rear of the bike, and are sized to fit bigger gear or over sized gear that won't go into a saddle bag or tankbag. The Firstgear Silverstone Tailbags have a convenient divider to sort smaller gear, that can be removed to store a helmet or other larger sized gear.

Bought this to use on my Triumph Scrambler on a trip last week to Vintage Motorcycle Days in Mid OI-77Ihio. Ran through several showers on the way up. Not a drop leaked in. On the way home to Charlotte, ran into several hours of a Frogstrangler on I-77 in Ohio and West Virginia. It kept my clothes dry as a bone. It truly is a DRY bag. The straps included worked well to secure it on my Scrambler.

the bag does what it says it's waterproof. it packs easily and during a rainstorm, it proved fine to the task. everything was dry inside. the multiple D rings gives you several options on attaching it securely to your bike....and then with rak straps not sure on name you have a great combo. travel with no worries. it was worth the price imo.

Pros: Colapses to the size you need, versatile tie downs, well engineered

Cons: getting into it, but...its w a t e r p r o o f

I got the 70L as a gift and liked it so much, I got the 25L for short commutes to and from schoolwork. Roll top design is awesome and with little a little practice its sure to keep everything you put in it and hit the road with, dry unless you plan to be a submarine. I have had both bags thru down pours with my laptop and clothing inside with zero issues. I prefer to use bungee cords to the straps supplied but, to each his own. Very satisfied with these bags.

Cons: I would like different straps to tie it down some with a release, just handier

It seems to be made very well. I feel certain it is rain proof as it is constructed similar to my Ortlieb which have proven to be durable and very rain proof. Several tie down options and it comes with tie down straps. I wish the straps were the type that snug up but have a release in the center for quick detach. Oh well I have some of those I can use.

Pros: Fits nicely on the First Run 2008 Victory Vision in Sport mode. The back seat and passenger handle work well with this bag.

Cons: None yet

Nice bag and well made. Can hold a bunch of gear. Bottom D rings make it easy to attach with two bungee cords. My trip is planned in October but I couldn't pass up this great deal. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars only because I have yet to test it. I did pack it up with clothes on this past weekend and I could put a weeks worth in side and still have room. Waterproof helps in FL and on most trips anywhere else. I am going to add a sheet of 14 inch plywood on the inside as a base. This will give me the area under the bag as my place to store my rain suit on the rear seat and not have to open anything when I need the rain suit.

I bought the 70 liter for a trip to the Copper Canyon in Mexico, was way too big, ordered the 25 liter bag, much better size, still had extra room. It made it through 14 days of some very tough dirt riding and river crossings. It will go back to the canyon again next year. I have not figured out how I will use the big bag, maybe a gear bag or general purpose travel bag.

I like the mounting system because I don't have a metal tank for magnets. The suction cups and straps work fine. Does have magnet mounting system with it also. has nic little holder for cap, cell phone,wallet etc. My 5 inch gps barely fits in pop up holder. 4.5 inch would be better but already had a 5 inch.

Dry bag for Adventure Riding - Bag is right for the PriceTXRecommended by Reviewer: No

Pros: Price and Strapping features

Cons: Overall Light weight feel for the Bag Materials

I ordered this for a 15 day upcoming ride from TEXAS to Canada and then in for off-riding riding and Camping needs. I got this bag because all my past experience with First Gear has been positive. It was purchased to compliment my CABELO's Dry Bag for lengthy Dual Sport trips. The feel and overall thickness of the CABELO's bag is about double that of this bag. Since I haven't used this bag yet, I still wanted to give it 3 stars. Who knows, this stuff might be made a Kevlar and wear just as good as my other bag or as good as an ORTLEIB bag. Only time will tell. For just light weight uses, this is going to have excellent Price Value.

On first inspection of the bag everything looked okay but as I looked at the seams on the inside of the bag some of them were not properly sealed, I contacted competition accessories they asked to take photos and send them to them which I did and they passed them onto the firstgear rep in the rep got back to them later that day and said just To send it back and to send out a new one it was that easy not a big hassle at all like some places

I bought this bag to hold my Garmin Nuvi 765T on my FZ1 tank. problem is that it positions the GPS very close to my body and to see it I have to look down taking my eyes off the road. This is due too the front of the tank is the plastic hold down and non-magnetic. The Traffic receiver doesn't fit through the cord inlet.The magnets although not very strong do hold the bag on the tank. Firstgear recommends using both the magnets and straps but that involves fishing the front strap around the steering head and tank and somehow attaching the rear strap to the area under the seat.There isn't much room in the storage compartment for more than a wallet, cell phone, pen and maybe a small camera. No gloves or anything else will fit.I didn't try the fanny pack option but it looks like it would work with a little effort to remove the base.

I really wanted a GPS compatible tank bag to limit the number of places I was mounting and stashing electronics on my bikes. I have more than one bike that I tour with and needed something that was flexible enough to move between the two. I've always loved my FirstGear jackets, and pants, and their reputation for quality. I bought the larger sized FirstGear Laguna GPS Tank Bag. The pockets and wiring access are well thought & laid out. The bag is big, but not bulky. The ability to zip it off the bike and carry it with all your electronics inside as a back pack is invaluable.Two downfalls are that the GPS pocket has a very limited range of adjustability for viewing and the glare off the clear vinyl cover make it impossible to see at times - not a huge deal as I rely more heavily on the audio directions. this last week I was caught in 3 days of rain . . . the built in rain cover is a great idea . . . and would be better if the cover were about 3 sizes bigger than it need to be . . . it is so big that no matter how tight you cinch it down air still gets in under it and blows it up like a balloon . . so much so I had a hard time seeing all my dash gauges . . . it's ridiculous and renders the whole GPS idea almost useless even thought the rain cover has a clear to for visibility.I now wish I had gone with Cortech's Dryver Tank Bag System . . . . the FirstGear Laguna is good but could be great with a few manufacturing.design adjustments - make the gps holder more adjustable for viewing and properly size the rain cover.

I was hoping for an easy solution to holding and using my GPS or smartphone. I can't use either with this bag. It is to be attached by both magnets and straps which defeated my intentions.The capacity is small but usable for keys, change and glasses case.Not a very good bang for the buck. Very disappointed.
